A Note from the Wild

JH

James Hendry

CEO & Head Guide, WildEarth

“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.” — Edward Abbey

Africa is a land of stories - primal, profound, hilarious, tragic and triumphant. I believe that yours is waiting to be discovered here: on the plains, in the ancient dust, on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, along the waterways of the Okavango and in the bushwillow woodlands of Kruger.

WildEarth's mission is to connect people with nature, and we want your safari to fundamentally change your relationship with the natural world. We know that means something different to everyone, so every WildEarth safari begins with a question: what would you like from this experience?

Your answer shapes the way we design your African adventure - the camps we choose, the wild experiences, and the fireside conversations after a long, wonderful day in the field.

We also want you to know that you are more than a guest -  through the WildEarth Impact Foundation, every booking supports the rangers, researchers and local communities who protect these remarkable landscapes. 

Your safari ends with your own, unique African story - of the places you visited, the wildlife you encountered, the lifelong memories you created. Most, it will be the story of how you rediscovered yourself under African skies.  

We can't wait to welcome you to Africa.
